Chapter 39
What a clean family background. But that didn’t mean anything.
Lola raised her eyebrows. Before her family rose, she liked to read romance novels when she was a young girl. She loved the power of the male protagonist. With just a phone call, he could investigate everyone thoroughly, including how much food they had for dinner.
Later on, when her family rose and became a wealthy family, she realized that it was all bullshit.
She didn’t even remember what she had eaten the night before. How could others find out?
Without sufficient power, it was impossible to find out the exact details by relying on the detectives in the business world.
The so–called investigation on Olivia was just asking the locals, classmates, teachers, and friends. It couldn’t be investigated in detail. Moreover, even if they had enough power, there were many things that couldn’t be investigated.
If the world was really clear and everything could be investigated, there would not be so many corrupt officials and tax evasion.
Lola only listened to Emma’s words and did not really believe her.
Mary and Elaine were the same. They both felt that Olivia could not be so innocent.
After all, it was impossible for such a top–notch beauty to sit in a man’s luxury car for no reason.
Lola suggested. “Why don’t we find a private detective to keep an eye on Olivia and Ryan?”
Just as she said it, Elaine glared at her. “You’re crazy. If Ryan finds out…” Lola’s face turned pale. She knew that she had gone overboard with her joke. She quickly said, “I was just spouting nonsense.”
“Alright, stop guessing.” Mary frowned. “If they’re really in a relationship, it will be exposed sooner or later.”
The three of them stayed at the Taylor family until seven in the evening. They couldn’t stay any longer. They were really bored. They told Emma and left.
Emma did not follow them. Instead, she returned to her room to rest. To be honest, before Olivia returned, she was still a little afraid of Olivia. However, after so many days, Emma had long let down her guard.
Olivia was completely different from what she had imagined.
It wasn’t like what she had guessed before. Olivia wasn’t a pretty girl from a humble family nor did she behave timidly like a student. She was not quiet and indifferent, and she didn’t harbor resentment in her heart… All of this wasn’t the case. Instead, Olivia was unexpectedly cold. Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
Emma had never seen such a cold person. Olivia had just acknowledged her family and returned to a top–notch wealthy family like the Taylor family. She actually wanted to move out and did not show up for more than half a month as if she had nothing to do with the Taylor family.
These days, Emma even occasionally had the illusion that there was nó such person as Olivia.
Her eldest brother, William, also rarely came home, but he managed the Taylor Group and was closely related to the Taylor family. His name was often heard at home.
Olivia was different. She had nothing to do with the Taylor family. She did not stay in the Taylor family, nor did she propose to enter the Taylor Group. She even entrusted the shares of the Taylor Group that
her grandfather had given her to William to manage. She did not care at all.
Emma could not understand her. Was there really such a person who did not care about fame and fortune and treated money as dirt?
She hugged the pillow and let her imagination run wild. Her mind was in a mess and she really could not think of anything. She picked up her phone and hesitated for a moment before calling Evelyn.
Deep down, Emma looked down on Evelyn. She felt that Evelyn was simple–minded and sinister, but she had to admit that Evelyn had the intuition of a small animal.
Although Evelyn was not smart enough, her intuition was very accurate.
Although Evelyn did things in a flashy manner and did not have any rules, she could always have accidental gain. It had an unexpected effect.
She had been able to hook up with Samuel for so many years because she was straightforward and acted stupid.
Speaking of which, it was strange that Samuel actually fell for her trick. As for the matter of losing Olivia, this matter was sinister and not thorough at all, but she was still safe and sound and benefited greatly from it.
Emma had to be elegant and kind in front of everyone. She had to be a kind sister, so there were some things that she could not tell others. After thinking about it, she felt that only Evelyn was the most suitable. Evelyn was very happy to receive a call from her daughter. She was lonely and bored at home.
“Emma.” In the face of Emma, Evelyn’s tone was always gentle and fawning. There was also a hint of pride in her words. She was proud that her daughter could live such a life and be so smart and
beautiful.
In the past, Emma hated her show–off attitude. Emma clearly had to curry favor with the Taylor family, but Evelyn still showed off. However, today, hearing Evelyn’s tone, Emma felt a rare sense of comfort. “Mom…” Emma told Evelyn about meeting Olivia today. Before she could tell Evelyn what Mary was thinking, Evelyn asked anxiously, “Really? She’s a mistress?”
Evelyn’s thoughts were simple and direct. What marriage alliance? the Taylor family’s pressure was not within her consideration at all. With her knowledge and experience, she could not think of such things. When she heard this, her first reaction was to gloat.
Ha–ha, Olivia was a mistress. She had to expose this matter. She had to embarrass Olivia and make the Taylor family feel ashamed of her.
“This is a good opportunity.” Evelyn could not help but be excited. “We must let the Taylor family know that she is a mistress. Your grandfather is so clear–minded and cares about his reputation. He will definitely not be able to stand his granddaughter being a mistress. Also, William will definitely look down on her.”
Emma frowned. She regretted calling Evelyn. Evelyn did not know anything.
After not hearing her daughter speak for a long time, Evelyn reacted and asked her directly, “Do you think I’m vulgar and don’t know anything? I know what you’re thinking. You just think that since the man and woman are unmarried, the Taylor family can take the opportunity to pressure the Book family to accept Olivia.”
Emma turned around and hugged the pillow tightly. “Since you know, why are you still saying it?”
Evelyn sighed. Her daughter had been taught too well. She had thought too much and had thought of everything. However, how could one be perfect in every way?
She said, “I know what you’re thinking. If this matter is exposed, the biggest outcome will be a marriage alliance between Olivia and the Book family. You look down on her and don’t want her to marry well.”
The Book family was not inferior to the Turner family. In fact, they were slightly superior.
In the hearts of young girls, there were some comparisons. They did not want someone who was inferior to them in every aspect to marry better than them.
Emma lowered her eyes.
Evelyn continued, “Emma, you can only achieve your goals if you are single–minded. if you think about everything and want everything, you won’t get anything.”
Emma was stunned.
Evelyn said, “It’s fine if Olivia marries well. Why are you thinking so much? The key to this matter is that Olivia will never have the chance to marry Ethan after being someone else’s mistress.”
The Turner family would never want such a loose woman.
Evelyn was different from Emma. Although she was simple–minded, her goal was clear.
Since she wanted money, she pestered Samuel. Even if she had been a mistress for more than 20 years and couldn’t make their relationship public, it didn’t matter. She didn’t care that she had no self– esteem because she had gotten what she wanted.
Later on, she hoped that her daughter could live a good life openly. She didn’t care and directly abandoned Olivia. She was even more ruthless and sent her daughter away.
Although she had been separated from her daughter for more than ten years and their relationship was not that close, her daughter had gotten everything better.
Only someone with a single goal could easily succeed.
If one wanted too much, but in the end, one couldn’t get anything.
If Emma wanted Ethan, it didn’t matter whether Olivia married well or not, as long as Emma could get Ethan.
